2.2 Annual Report
• Looking back
The ‘2021 / 2022’ was an extraordinary year for the Cambridge Campus Ministry Ltd (CCML). The COVID-19 pandemic prompted a historic shock to the UK community and impacted every fabric of the society. Our way of life was
completely disrupted. The lockdown measure over the last two years has changed the landscape of community services and format of people interactions across the UK till today. As the result of the unprecedent public health policies like social
6 Carrick Close, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, UK CB1 8RQ

distancing, restricted face-to-face communication, the pre-pandemic on-site activities in the Cambridge Campus Centre (CCC) came to a halt. But the work of God has never stopped.
• Transforming to a New Normal
Praise the Lord! Despite the harsh social environment, the CCML workers spared no effort to expand the ministries that brought about a facelift to the service. “The Church without walls” was no longer an unreachable target or remained a slogan. Thanking to the on-line classes, workshops and sermons, the outreaching works flourished and extended to a new frontier last year. This Report highlighted the outreaching programs and activities carried out in CCC in 2021/22.
• English Learning Programs - Outreaching to Cambridge Scholars
Ms. Ruth Lewis, our honorable teacher coworker, continued to hold classes on the very popular topic “British Culture English Course” via on-line in 2021/2022. The course ran throughout the year and was very well received. The class of 10-12 scholars coming from China met virtually every Tuesday evening. Rapport and trust gradually built up between the Centre workers and the participants, which attracted 5-6 members to enroll into an Advanced English Course based on the scripture The seed of Christian faith was sown and the participants may hear the gospel. The visits to British Museum and National Art Gallery were suspended in 2021/22. These outings were expected to resume in 2022/23. Through appreciating the ancient collections at the British Museum and the priceless artworks at the National Gallery, participants would hear the stories of Jews in the Old Testament time and the life of Jesus. Who was He? What did He do for the mankind? Where is He now?

• Christian Heritage Walk - Round Church Ministry
Mr. Edward Kwong and Rev. Rosa Chan joined the Round Church Ministry and were trained as Putonghua tour guides for the “Christian Heritage Walk in Cambridge” which was open for members of the public and visitors. This Walking Program aimed at spreading the Christian faith through introducing the history and the rich heritage of Christianity in Cambridge. This Program spread the Words of God in an insidious way. It addressed a fundamental question
i.e. Is there a creator in this universe? Great scientists and philosophers are only interpreting His work and discovering the truths of His creation. His wisdom surpasses the knowledge of mankind. Owing to the infection control measures, university colleges were largely closed for visitors in 2021/22. This Program was suspended for several months. With the easing of lockdown measures, it was anticipated that the demand for guided tours would come back in full strength in next 1-2 years.
• Cantonese Service for Hong Kongers
In contrast to the quietness in the campus during the lockdown, it was speculated that a large number of Hong Kongers holding BNO passports would migrate to the UK in the beginning of 2021. Rev. Rosa Chan, Mr. Edward Kwong and a handful of brothers and sisters of the Cambridge Alliance Church (CAC) responded to the call of God to serve the growing number of Cantonese speaking Hong Kongers in Cambridge. This preparation group held their meetings at CCC regularly to plan the ground work and future operations of the new Cantonese service. The on-line Sunday Cantonese Service started on 14 Feb 2021 with a congregation of only 14 members. One year later, when the congregation celebrated its first anniversary, the number miraculously grew to 150.
Many Hong Kong families choosing to settle in Cambridge have school aged children. The CAC felt the burning needs to lead this new generation to live before God, know Him, love Him, serve Him and glorify Him and become God’s disciples.

It was very grateful that God prepared a team of devoted leaders. Programs tailored made for these children were planned and started in 2021/22, namely,
Teen’s Sunday Service (For Year 7-11 students) Children’s Sunday Service (For Year 1-6 students).
By mid of 2022, about 100 young people and children regularly attended the above programs. May God continue to do His work on the coming generation.
• Outreaching to Cantonese Speaking Non-believers
Following on the vision of outreaching to non-believers, with much hard work, prayers and preparation, the CAC took a bold step to establish the first Cantonese Speaking Chinese School for teenagers and children aged from 5 to 13 in Cambridge. It taught traditional Chinese in Cantonese aiming at reaching the families from Hong Kong and extending our care to the community. The school was comprised of four levels (pre-school, lower, middle, higher) and was opened in the school year of 2022/23. This Chinese School has a unique role in the ministry. It bridges the gap between the Church and the Hong Kong community in Cambridge.
• Outreaching to the Unknown
With the zooming of Sunday Service since the lockdown, God’s words were spread afar. People need the Lord. Believers and non-believers from other corners of the world were able to join the Putonghua Sunday Service on-line. A couple of Sri Lanka who regularly attended the on-line Sunday Service were touched by the Words of God. They got baptized and currently serving the local church. We prayed that their search for the truth and their faith in God may grow from strengths to strengths.

• Stream of Praise 2022 – Music Ministries
Mr. Edward Kwong assumed the Chairman of London Chinese Christian Association (LCCA) over the past 5 years and was appointed the convener of the music ministry “Stream of Praise 2022” held in London. The 2022 Program was successfully held with about 2000 audience on 29 October 2022 in London. Mr. Edward Kwong would step down from the chairmanship of LCCA next year and he would focus on the campus and CAC ministry in coming years.
• Challenges ahead
The present COVID-19 restrictive policies implemented in China and the tension of international relationships as well as the global economic downturn, all these would affect the number of scholars coming to Cambridge for further study. It was, however, very grateful that the enrollment to the “British Culture English Course” was full. May God continue to use these programs to find His loss sheep.
The sudden surge of Hong Kong people settled in Cambridge has brought about both challenges and opportunities to the works of the CAC.

Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SoFA as income from donations when receivable. Donated services and facilities Donated services and facilities are included in the SOFA when received at the value of the gift to the charity provided the value of the gift can be measured reliably. Donated services and facilities that are consumed immediately are recognised as income with an equivalent amount recognised as an expense under the appropriate heading in the SOFA. The cost of any stock of goods donated for distribution to beneficiaries is deemed to be the fair value of those gifts at the time of their receipt and they are recognised on receipt.
